- Your account should have been created with the Card Not Present option. Selecting this allows you to view the CIM (Customer Information Manager) feature in your account.

2.Go to Sales > Customers and select the customer whose card details you want to add. Click More and select Request Payment Information. The customer will receive an email through which they can enter the card details.
3.Customers can choose to save their card details while making online payment for an invoice by selecting the option Save this card for future transactions.
Once the card details are saved, you will have to link this card to the recurring invoice. Here’s how:
